State senators pass ‘absurd’ bill for Right to Life

Republican senators passed a bill last week creating a specialty license plate that puts the state of Michigan in the business of fund raising for an ideological special interest group. Right to Life of Michigan.

How absurd is that?

Right to Life provides no services to women or their families. Their sole mission is to render abortion unavailable to all under all circumstances.

The funds acquired through the sale of these plates will be turned over to Right to Life so they can pay their lobbyists and increase their proselytizing. Not that I’m surprised by this legislation. After all, voters in Michigan have unwittingly sent too many people to the Michigan Legislature who are owned by Right to Life. The result is a group of politicians that can’t agree on truly important issues that affect us all, such as infrastructure repair, education support, environment protection and more.
